In this week’s Talent Takes Time episode, Alison chats to football presenter and reporter, Jacqui Oatley. Jacqui has always been a great supporter of women in sport, and has received an MBE for her work as an inspirational role model.

She’s an ambassador and founding member of Women in Football — a network of professionals who support and champion their peers — and works hard to help young women feel like they ‘belong’ in the industry.

Jacqui is the perfect guest, who’s straight-talking honesty about her experiences in the industry makes for a fascinating listen. Alison chats to her about everyone’s different journeys, while Jacqui explains how you never quite feel like you’ve ‘made it’ because the rug can be pulled from under you at any time.
